Pressure Slowly Stamping Out
Moonshiners, Service Claims
Washington -(Science Service)-
The Internal Revenue
Service here has bad news for
the nation's thousands of
moonshiners. Continuing Fed
eral pressure is slowly stamp
ing out illegal whisky mak
ing. Revenue agents in fiscal
1958 put 9,272 stills out of
business. This compares with
11,820 in 1957, and 14,499 in
1956.
The drop in seizures re
flects a drop in moonshining,
reasons Thomas Bailey, chief
of IRS's enforcement branch
of the Alcohol and Tobacco
Tax division. Still-hunting
"revenooers" are just as num
erous and hard-working as
ever, he said.
Should Bewara
Bailey said the .public
should beware of moonshine
for health reasons.
"Frequently," he said, "we
find dead skunks, possums and
rats in the mash from which
White House Should Take Responsibility
For Stimulatina Enqineerinq Manpower
Washington (Science Ser
vice) A Presidential com
mittee has advised the White
House to assume responsibil
ity for coordinating and stim
ulating the development and
utilization of the nation's sci
entific and engineering man
power. In releasing its report, the
President's committee on sci
entists and Engineers made
two additional recommenda
tions: 1. Key programs developed
by the committe should be
continued as being of vital
importance to the further de
velopment of manpower po
tential. 2. A committee of Cabinet
members should examine the
problem and recommend to
the President a suitable White
House organization to assume
the responsibility for the pro
gram. The President's committee
was organized in 1956 to stim
ulate non-federal activity and
to develop an effective, inte
grated approach among the
many organizations concerned
with technological manpower.

the whisky is made."
Illegal boze might also con
tain wood alcohol (methanol)
which can blind and kill its
victims. In 1958, there were
27 known deaths in New York
City traced to the illegal mak
ing and sale of 30 gallons of
whisky containing wood alco
hol. Many others were ser
iously injured.
The worst case of poisoning
on record occurred in Atlanta
in the early 1950's when
about 40 persons died from
drinking whisky made with
wood alcohol.
Bailey attributes the steady
drop in still seizures to the
work of his department in
putting the "major" violators
out of business.
Biggest Problem
Despite this, he said the
seven southern states North
Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Georgia, Mississippi,
Alabama and Florida still
present the biggest problem.

from the scientific revolution"
as are the leaders of Commu
nist China.
He emphasized that our sci
entific and technological man
power have been intensified
rather than diminished in the
two years. Dr. Bevis, presi
dent emeritus of Ohio State
university, added that this is
why the committee "strongly
recommends" the Chief Ex
ecutive's office to take action.
Some of the moves already
undertaken by the committee
are:
1. A progarm for the con
servation and effective use of
existing supplies of scientists
and engineers in cooperation
with industry, universities and
professional societies.
2. The organization of lo
cal and state groups to work
toward Improvement of pri

and mathematics.
3. A wider public under

Bethlehem and Youngstown

off small gains and losses.
